Easter!
I don’t normally dress up for Easter…but then I got that pink skirt, and a cardigan that happens to match, and some patterned tights. This is how I pulled it all together:
I felt like I hadn’t worn one of my favorite winter skirts often enough this winter, so here it is again, styled up with a new cardigan I got for Christmas.
Remember this $80 sweater from Ann Taylor? I bought it so I would have something up-to-date to wear with this thrifted skirt. I loved the wooliness and plaidness of this skirt when I spotted it at the YWCA Treasure Chest. I loved it more when I noticed it had a very small waist, so it was designed to sit high, and the tag looked pretty old. I loved it best when it only cost $1.
So I figured it was okay to spend $80 on a sweater to go with it.
Twitter Christma dress up duds!
I really dig the whole “chicks wearing fedoras” thing, so I was pretty excited to find this men’s hat at an estate sale last summer for $2. I liked the little red feather (not pictured…it’s on the left side, attached to the band) because it would match my red coat. Since it was wool, I waited for winter to wear it. So far I have worn it…once.
My lavendar arm warmers look pretty awesome with my blue and grey striped sweater, grey striped scarf, and the ever-stylish fleece vest, huh?
Whatever. It was frickin’ cold today. Like, 25 degrees F cold.
Do I look like a turkey in this outfit? I kind of felt like one. But that’s okay. It was nearly Thanksgiving and an abundance of autumn colors was entirely necessary.
I wore this shirt and cardie not long ago. I thought I’d try it with this grey pencil skirt that I’ve had for ages (classic clothing, for the win). I tucked in the tops and belted the skirt to make the waist look higher. I got a couple of compliments, but I still felt school-marmish and pudgy. I think I felt pudgy because of the thickness of the two tops tucked in. Oh, well. I probably won’t wear this combination again. At least my shoes matched my tops.
I’ve worn my black cowl neck sleeveless sweater with this skirt before, and I’ve worn it with my yellow jacket before, but I had never worn the three together until today. I was really pleased with how it turned out.
Oh, hey. Check out this new way I learned to tie a scarf:
It looks like you’ve braided the scarf somehow, and shows off the ends more. I like it! My work friend Trish showed me. She works part time at Lucinda’s and learned it there.
